Reading the directions on the packet of Windsor Ale Yeast that I used last night for my Pale Ale, I rehydrated in 4 ozs of H2O for 15-30 minutes. Then I took a couple of tbls of cooled wort (80-85 deg) and added to the starter. After an hour or so there was some strong activity in the starter! I then pitched it in the aerated wort and sealed the primary. 20 hours later there is vigorous activity and bubbling at a rate of 7-8/5 sec!
The porter I had just bottled was less active and bubbled about 3-4/5 sec at it's peak. I doubt the rate of bubbling is an indication of anything as different yeast strains behave differently, but I am excited with the current level!
